Purpose Total knee arthroplasty with functional alignment uses pre-resection balancing to
determine component position within the soft tissue envelope to achieve balance and …

Purpose Key concepts in total knee arthroplasty include restoration of limb alignment and
soft-tissue balance. Although differences in balance have been reported amongst …

Background Kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has emerged as an
alternative approach to the intraoperative alignment targets of mechanically aligned (MA) …

Traditionally in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a post-operative neutral alignment was the
gold standard. This principle has been contested as functional outcomes were found to be …

Aims It is unknown whether kinematic alignment (KA) objectively improves knee balance in
total knee arthroplasty (TKA), despite this being the biomechanical rationale for its use. This …

Alignment is regarded as a hot topic in total knee arthroplasty (TKA)[3]. For a long time, a
neutral mechanical alignment was proposed as the only reliable, durable option in TKA [2] …

Purpose To compare and determine the reliability and conclusiveness of the medium‐and
long‐term efficacy in terms of patient‐reported outcome measures and the risk of revisions …

Background Functional alignment (FA) strives to balance the knee soft-tissue envelope
during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using implant alignment adjustments rather than soft …

Purpose A systematic review was conducted to answer the following questions:(1) Does
kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) achieve clinical outcomes …

In the last 10 years many studies have questioned if the strive to mechanical align any knee
may pose some problems related to ligament misbalancing that could explain the high rate …
